[86]
I have much
to say regarding the indignities which I have suffered, but I see that I have
not enough water left in the clock. I will tell you, therefore, how I think you
will all best come to know the enormity of the wrongs that have been done me.
You must each of you consider what slave he left at home, and then imagine that
you have suffered from him the same treatment that I have suffered from Phormio.
Do not take into consideration that they are severally Syrus or Manes or what
not, while this fellow is Phormio. The thing is the same—they are
slaves, and he was a slave; you are masters, and I was master.
